Hey, but if I sleep in it, I don't have to put it back on when I get up. [That smile is a blessing and it gives him enough vitality to crack another joke and return a smile of his own.
For now, it's better if he tries to ignore all the harshness running rampant in his head. Better to accept the help without a fuss. He knows well enough that fighting back would just make things more difficult later.
Even with the joke though, he doesn't waste any time reaching around the back of his neck to get the collar off, eyes fluttering shut to take a moment and enjoy how good the cool of the climate controlled air against his neck. If he didn't have to wear that thing ever again, he'd be happy.]
